Hardware Security Module (HSM)

Securing your messaging flows

Hardware Security Module (HSM) protects your SWIFTNet PKI certificates against unauthorised access and is mandatory for signing live traffic and authenticating on production services.

The HSM is a security device which safestores your critical SWIFTNet PKI certificates and generates signatures for your traffic. The device secures the generation, storage and use of cryptographic keys by providing logical and physical protection.

There are three HSM models to address different customers’ needs: HSM tokens, HSM cards and HSM boxes.
